Settling

I have though about all sort of things: about people's desire to spread themselves out, make new discoveries, roam around; and then again about their inner drive to yield voluntary to restrictions, to go along on the sweet track of habit, without bothering about what's to the right or left, without listening.
I hastened here and I'll come back without finding what I had hoped for, but still I found out something....
Distance is like the future! An enormous glimmering oneness lies before our soul. My feeling blurs in it along with my eyes and I long to let go of my whole being, to let myself be filled with all the bliss of a single great, glorious feeling........But alas! When I hasten there, when there becomes here, everything is as it was, and I stand in my poverty, in my finiteness, the soul thirsting for the refreshment that has slipped away.

...Thus the most restless vagabond longs at last for his home country and finds in his family the bliss that he sought in the wide world in vain.
How happy I am to feel the simple in my heart!
It is wonderful how everything around attracts me, how I can look from the hill into a lovely valley.. from under a tree at his protecting rebellions.. interweaving along the surface of rocking ocean.. loosing myself...................................................A presto.
